Magnificent MendelssohnFebruary 26, 2014By Keith Francis (NEW YORK, NY)See All My Reviews"Mendelssohn added &quot;con fuoco&quot; to his tempo marking for the opening of his Octet and Heifetz and company are the fieriest I've ever heard. The music-making is tremendously exciting in the first movement and highly poetic in the second, although some may find the tempo a little on the fast side. The scherzo is a bit less ethereal than it might be, but the finale is a hugely enjoyable romp with every note in place in spite of the hair-raising speed."Report Abuse
